Frugal Meals: One Chicken 3 Family Meals – Lemon Chicken & Rice

Well I said I could get three meals out of one chicken and here I am with the final part of the challenge and some lemon chicken made out of the remaining chicken breast that we had from our whole chicken.

I love to have a chicken breast with some rice. It just tastes delicious. You have the moisture and the juices from the chicken coming down onto the rice and it is also a very filling meal.

You cook the chicken at the same time as the rice and then add the two when they are cooked at the same time.

I also find that if you serve it with some tomatoes it is even nicer!!!

In this recipe I am going even more frugal with the lemon used in the recipe coming from my own lemon tree in my garden. I love my lemon tree and I remember when I moved in last year, my mum came around and took the majority of them and we ended up running out. And this year it has produced so many that I gave loads away. So I have to remember to do a lot more recipes with lemon in.

If you want to go frugal with your meals then I recommend that you use a chicken breast between two of you and then bulk it up with delicious vegetables and a carb such as rice or potatoes.
